I started the Cambridge diet around April/may time 2012 and used slim and save as well during that time. I lost 5 stone in total going from 14 stone 10 to 9 stone 9 and from a size 20 to a size 8-10. It took me 5/6 months and I felt amazing!

I managed to keep the weight off for a few months but then fell pregnant and it all went downhill from there (weight wise).

I gained just over 7 stone due to me literally eating for 2! The day I was due to be induced at the end of august I weighed a whopping 16 stone 11. Over the next couple of months I naturally lost just under 2 stone and when I stopped breast feeding at the end of November 13 I decided to start slim and save. I did this for 2 weeks. Starting at 15 stone 2 and dropped down to 14 stone.

I then made the decision to stop over Christmas and start again in the new year. A weak decision but I knew it was best for me not to convince myself that Christmas was a good time to be on a diet like this!

Well I was pleasantly surprised and do not know how I managed it but I weighed myself this morning and I am still at 14 stones... After Christmas I thought I would have regained the 16 pounds plus more!

Anyway I started today, I was going to leave it until Monday but why put it off?

Still have 1 pack to go so think I may opt for spicy spaghetti as havnt much choice due to using left over packs and waiting for my order on Monday!

Hmmm :-/ not quite sure about that as it was a miracle I stayed the same weight in all honesty! Trust me I ate what I wanted when I wanted so it was just luck I stayed the same and I won't take credit for it :-) haha

Where the coffee is concerned I plan to cut out the sweetener next week and the skimmed milk the next and just go on to black coffees once ketosis is established... The coffee today has kept me on track!
